There's a point in this where they casually refer to the idea that only people 30 years old and over should go outside. That doesn't match to age of physical fitness, or resistance to radiation, or anything to do with the persons wellbeing. It maps to fertility. It's instructions designed to rebuild population in whatever it is that's left.

I'm honestly not sure. I think it might be an even more terrifying sort of "devil's arithmetic". Once fallout levels are low enough to present a low risk of ARS (Acute Radiation Sickness), the problem becomes an increased lifetime risk of disease, particularly cancer. The less time a person has left to live, the less likely they are to develop those illnesses and the less time that they'll lose if they do. 30 feels like an early cut-off for that, but it seems like a matter of practicality more than anything, since a higher cut-off would mean a smaller population of able-bodied adults to do the work.

person on the autism spectrum here with a special interest for radiation poisoning and the effects of it on the human body, you are 100% luckier if you die immediately. The stages after that are terrifying. First of all is the first stage where you shall feel exactly how you would expect from how the media portrays it. The radiation will attack your skin cells to the point where they mutate and die. The mutation means they cannot regenerate and thus, your skin will flake off and fall apart. Diarrhea or vomiting to extreme points to where you can die of malnutrition or starvation is also another thing to worry about. Your bone marrow cells will also mutate and attack your white blood cells, making you prone to infection to the point where a common cold can kill you in hours. After around (I think) 10-30 days, you’ll have a ‘safe’ time where the effects will be much less painful and you may even feel completely better. This lasts (I think) a week or two. Dying by this point is highly likely and survival after this point is very rare (and painful). If you survive past the safe zone god bless you. The last stage is where everything gets ten times worse. It’s like the first stage but only worse with your skin turning black and terrible cancer. If you survive, you are told to not have children as passing on cancers like leukemia to them is highly likely. You will, forever, be more radioactive than most people on earth and it never completely goes away. Most die of cancer. I know one survivor of a nuclear disaster had to have his leg removed but lived until 2007 (I think) Please feel free to correct me, any of this may be wrong!

Well, I think it's more along the lines of that strangers in a strange area are certainly most likely not going to help someone who is not family or a friend. It can be a dangerous predicament to find yourself in a strange place with strange people you don't know in a situation like this. You don't know their intentions, and you don't have their loyalty, love or trust. At best, they'll just shoot after you to get you off of their turf. At the very worst, they may just rape/sodomize/torture you, and/or your family, and then kill you, and/or your family, screw your corpses as one more go for the road. Then keep your youngest kid around in horrendous conditions, abuse, and untreated infections as a a sex/baby making slave for their new future, inbred "tribe". Then when the day of "fun" is over, and everything's settled, they'll cook and eat you and the remaining family with the taco sauce and ketchup packets they stole from that other family they did the same thing to days ago. You just don't know with some folks. Forget just selfish survival, some "people" are just straight up, remorselessly feral, and this situation will just make them even worse.

I grew up within a few miles of two large RAF bases, and we would probably have been amongst the first to be attacked. I remember the Protect and Survive booklet coming through the letterbox. This was in the early 80s (I was around 9 or 10 yrs old at the time) and I had nightmares about being nuked; in fact, I still do! My friend's mother was a CND activist and had piles of scary literature and photographs of Hiroshima, it was terrifying....and watching Threads on the portable TV in the bedroom was the icing on the cake!

Pictures: *the top of your house will fall in* Reality: no more house That and there is no genuine way to save yourself from this blast, your either dead from the initial blast or youll die from the radiation.

That is not true. It depends where you are in relation to the blast. If you're right at the centre, you're going to die (although someone did survive 300m from the centre of the Hiroshima explosion). If you're 30 miles away, you might survive and I'd rather take some action to have a 20% chance of survival than do nothing and have a 5% chance.

Patrick Allen recorded the voice over at StageSound(London)Ltd. in Covent Garden. I was the assistant sound engineer under Dick Warman. Patrick recorded the whole lot - plus other stuff that I have never heard again - in just two short days. Most of it in one or two takes. He was appearing in a West End play at the time so had to fit the work in around his other commitments. The special sounds came from the BBC (probably the Radiophonic Workshop) with which StageSound had close ties.

Ronald Reagan was President and Margaret Thatcher was PM of Great Britain, and both had vowed not to allow that to happen. And Mikhail Gorbachev was still over a year away from becoming General Secretary of the Soviet Union.

the scariest part is the fact that this is the EXACT civil defense film used in Threads

After working with broadcaster ITV in the past, I can confirm that these particular pifs were never broadcast (aside from being featured in documentaries and the BBC's 'Threads') and are listed as such. They were part of the emergency broadcast system and would only be activated should the threat of nuclear attack deemed imminent (within about 72 hours). Due to the nature of the EBS, even their accidental broadcast would have been impossible. They were originally deemed classified, but public outcry at the time forced the government to admit to their existence. Anyone claiming to have seen them broadcast must've been living in a very grim, alternate timeline. They have of course now been declassified for quite some time and are available on DVD. Thankfully, they never saw actual TX for the purpose they were designed..... Especially as the info in them is completely useless and about as much use as sticking a paper bag on your ahead. Placebo I'm afraid.

At the very least that sound makes me think "damn I'm gonna be stuck in some dark, stinky, basement for several weeks, and pooping in a bucket", I know it's not even funny, it's really depressing, especially when you realize that for people in the 70's that was a very real possibility

Jeremy Forczyk It is still a very real possibility now in 2015. The weapons haven't gone away. In many respects, the "possibility" is now greater; Rogue states are a threat, and there are now Islamic countries for whom "Mutually Assured Destruction" means nothing, other than they will become mass martyrs.

What utter drivel

Only Brittons would go to lengths of creating a series of dispassionate and informational films about a nuclear holocaust, and do so with the help of a children's show animation studio to illustrate ways to mitigate the threats of fallout and pestilence in a way that the whole family could understand.

The tones at the end, so creepy. If I heard this as a kid back in the 80s, I would have been terrified. I already suffered from night terrors and dreams of ww3 back then. As a child, it felt so hopeless, because you didn’t understand politics as a kid. USSR was like some huge unstoppable force. We thought they’d invade at any time through Alaska.

"If you're outdoors lie down" Yes, so only my back will get vaporized.

So apparently these were only going to be aired if it was suspected that a nuclear attack was less than 72 hours away.....I need more notice than that if my grandchildren are coming round, never mind an H-bomb dropping!

In the event of an international crisis that looked set to trigger a war, it was intended that the UK’s TV stations would go off air and be replaced by the BBC’s Wartime Broadcasting Service- on which these short films, of which there are 20, would be played on a continual loop.

This could still be used today, 40 years later. Thanks, UK government!

They are electro-mechanical sirens which are analog and not speakers as you are implying. They can only generate this one sound with interruptions to create the attack signal or no interruption for the all clear signal.
